FindSpark Campus Ambassadors, powered by Wix.com

A strong network is powerful and can open doors.

Looking for experience in event planning, marketing, social media, and as a student leader?

Join our community and boost your career while having fun with the most ambitious young pros on the planet.

We’re seeking talented, driven individuals who want to be more actively involved with our community — changing people’s careers for the better and working to ensure that there is a positive role model, mentor, and friend for every young pro in New York City, Chicago and beyond.

This is not your typical campus ambassador program. You won’t push products; you’ll bring fun, relevant resources that actually work to your peers. You won’t represent a brand; you’ll represent a community, and learn and grow professionally at the same time.

With our support, benefits, and network, FindSpark Campus Ambassadors have gone on to land jobs and internships at companies like Viacom, Time Inc., IBM, L’Oreal, MRY, and Birchbox.
